Admission to UConn difficult, book says UConn is one of the hardest public universities in the country to be admitted into, according to a book recently published. "The Competitive Colleges: Who Are They? Where Are They? What Are They Like?", published by Peterson Guides of Princeton, N.J.. lists 246 colleges that have more people applying than can be accepted. UConn's average Scholastic Aptitude Test scores for the 1979-80 freshman class ranked eighth compared to 50 other public universities in each state listed in the book. UConn's median score was 1060, and the median score of all universities on the list is 1019. The University of Virginia had the highest median of 1226. John Vlandis, director of admissions at UConn, said the book is accurate, but added, "The primary criteria for admissions is the high school record of the perspective freshman." Of the 50 public universities, UConn is one of ten listed as very competitive. Only the University of Virginia was given a higher rating. Most of the remaining colleges were listed as competitive.
